We provide gentle, preventive-focused children’s dental care in Sherwood to support healthy teeth and oral development at every stage. Our children’s dentistry services are designed to prevent tooth decay, monitor growth and help children build positive dental habits early.
Regular dental visits help monitor your child’s oral development and reduce the risk of cavities. Check-ups include a thorough examination of the teeth, gums and bite, gentle plaque removal, and practical brushing and flossing guidance for children and parents.
Back teeth often have deep grooves that can trap plaque and bacteria. Fissure sealants are protective coatings applied to these surfaces to help prevent decay in children and teenagers. The procedure is quick, comfortable and long-lasting.
Professional fluoride strengthens enamel and helps protect children’s teeth from cavities. Applications are fast, safe and effective, supporting early decay prevention and remineralisation in growing smiles.
As children grow, we monitor tooth eruption, jaw development and bite alignment. Early identification of crowding, spacing or bite concerns allows timely guidance or referral if needed.
Sherwood Smiles supports eligible families under the Child Dental Benefits Schedule, which provides up to $1,158 over two consecutive calendar years for children aged 2–17. Covered services include check-ups, cleans, X-rays, fillings, fissure sealants, fluoride and extractions. Our team can help check your child’s eligibility and explain available benefits.
Early dental care helps prevent cavities, supports proper tooth and jaw development and builds lifelong oral health habits. Positive early dental experiences also help children feel confident and comfortable attending dental visits as they grow.

Early dental care helps prevent cavities, supports proper tooth and jaw development, and builds healthy oral hygiene habits from a young age. Positive early visits also help children feel comfortable and confident with dental care as they grow.
It’s very common for children to feel unsure about dental visits. Our team uses a calm, gentle approach and creates a friendly, relaxed environment to help children feel safe and at ease. We take time to explain things in a child-friendly way and move at a pace your child is comfortable with.
A child’s visit includes a gentle examination of the teeth, gums and bite, with a light clean if needed. We also provide simple brushing and diet guidance for parents and children, and may recommend fluoride or fissure sealants where appropriate.
Fissure sealants are thin protective coatings applied to the grooves of back teeth to help prevent cavities. They are especially beneficial for children and teenagers, as these teeth are harder to clean and more prone to decay.
Eligible children aged 2–17 can receive up to $1,158 in basic dental services over two consecutive calendar years through the Child Dental Benefits Schedule. Our team can help check eligibility and explain available benefits at your child’s visit.
